The smelly poop cat (Ophelia) is very healthy for her age - not even any renal problems; she just doesn't assimilate the food properly - eats and poops....she is NOT FIV/FeLV+!!!! Oh, YES, I DO wake up to Ophelia's "aroma" - and her litter box is in a bathroom far away....past our bathroom, a hallway..... None of our 5 FIV cats has runny poop. I do sprinkle some acidophilus/probiotic into their food for better digestion...however, it's NOT working with Ophelia's - hers is sort-of Carvel ice cream consistency!

It has actually woken me up in the middle of the night. It's really bad because he doesn't cover so as soon as I get the first whiff of it I drop everything and go running to find which litterbox he used and cover it immediately. Even if I'm eating I put everything down and go take care of it. It's not like I could eat anymore anyway! Yuck. Lots of times in the middle of winter I have my patio door wide open to get the smell out. He's always had runny poop too. Think it's cause of the FIV? I heard that it can have that effect on them. But then I wondered if it's something else. Do any of you guys have FIV + cats that almost always have runny poops?
